Its closest postal neighbours are P1C (North Bay) about 25 km off and P1A (North Bay) about 25 km off. The zero in P0H is Canada Post's marker for a rural service area — every code in the P0 block is rural Ontario — which is why one prefix has to cover 8 separate settlements here rather than a few city blocks.

A $500 order delivered into P0H carries $65.00 in HST; the same order delivered into J9V carries $74.88 in GST + QST — $9.88 apart on one invoice.
